I found out the problem, as maybe, reverse lookup and dns server problems.
I started getting
the telnets okay once the hosts file was properly put into place, on all
machines.  Now I am
booting four 486/16 mb/s3vga/nodisk from a pentium 233/64 mb/4gb and running
gimp/abiword/
Tex etc. quite happy that I could (finally) switch all the publishing etc on
to linux.  But still using
outlook and photoshop (habits) for some remote purpose.
